After news broke that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was pleading guilty to special counsel Robert Mueller’s charge that he lied to the FBI, former bureau director James Comey published a cryptic post on Twitter.

One former FBI official, though, was not impressed.

“‘But (let) justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream’ Amos 5:24,” Comey tweeted Friday, citing a verse from the Bible. He also linked to a post from his Instagram page that included the same verse and a photo of a flowing stream.

“Anyone with a brain knows what he meant,” James Kallstrom told Breitbart News. “He thinks he was unjustly brought down, and now justice is going to prevail and show him as some sort of a martyr. Nothing could be further from the truth.”

Kallstrom noted that Comey is in no position to act self-righteous.

“He’s a guy who either knows the Bible or thought it would be cool to give that response back, when he is the emperor with no clothes,” he said. “He carried water for the Clinton Foundation and Obama administration, and demoralized the FBI, making a fool of himself in my view — he conducted himself in a way that was not in keeping with the rule of law — and here he is quoting the Bible.”

“Hopefully, justice will roll down on him and his sycophants who threw the bureau under the bus,” Kallstrom added.

The former FBI official explained that Comey is nothing more than a “hypocrite” who failed to do the right thing in the face of the many scandals that engulfed the Obama administration, particularly those involving former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

“He just showed himself as the hypocrite that he is,” Kallstrom said. “He lacks the common sense to realize he’s digging his hole deeper.”

Comey was fired by President Donald Trump in May, as the president believed at the time he was “not able to effectively lead the bureau,” according to The New York Times.

Several months before Flynn was ousted, Flynn departed the Trump administration over questions regarding his connections with Russians. Comey has claimed that after Flynn left, Trump asked the then-FBI director to stop the bureau’s probe into Flynn.

Following Comey’s firing, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Mueller to oversee the investigation into alleged Russian collusion in the 2016 presidential election.

On Friday, Mueller charged Flynn with “willfully and knowingly” making “false, fictitious and fraudulent statements” regarding conversations he had with then-Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak between Trump’s election and his inauguration.

Trump, though, has denied that Flynn’s guilty plea implicates him or his administration.

“What has been shown is no collusion,” Trump reporters Friday as he was leaving to attend several New York fundraisers, according to Breitbart. “There has been absolutely no collusion.
